President Heber C Kimball who had been sick for several
days with the Quincy. He was able to set up we conversed for
some 3 Hours He said that United States would not go down
vary spedily but gradually, and we would be held up as
a target or as an Ensign for the Kings and Nations of
the Earth to look at from time to time and he was satisfied
that the indians would do their rough work in a great
measure before they embraced the gospel many remarks
were made. I attended the anualul meeting of the
